32-40-30 Brake System
The Bristell B23 airplane is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes on the
main landing gear wheels. Brake system consists of the brake pedals
(part of rudder control pedals, see Fig. 7), master brake cylinder,
hoses for brake fluid supply, brake calipers and brake pads. By
applying force on the pedal, the master brake cylinder is compressed
and pressure is generated in the brake circuit and the caliper pushes
the brake pads onto the brake disks. Braking pressure can be
controlled by force of brake pedal depressing.
32-40-31 Parking Brake
Airplane is equipped with the hydraulic manually controlled parking
brake. The PARKING BRAKE controller is located on the middle
channel in the cockpit. The parking brake controller is mechanically
connected with a closing valve. By pressing the brake pedals and by
pulling the parking brake handle the brake system is closed and the
main wheels are kept braked.
